I'm thinking of split infinitives. These mean different things, no?

You need not to be here.
You need to not be here.
You need to be not here.

@SDZ Agreed.

Your presence isn’t required.
You need to go away.
You literally need to be anywhere else but here.

@eikwood Right? And those are nice subtle differences, I think.

@SDZ

I just ignore anyone who says to not split infinitives.

@SDZ yeah, location of "to" indicates which part of the sentence is the most important.
